# Dave Conway > Senior Software Engineer at CoMetrics Location: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/daveconway Concert pianist, composer, and baker trapped in a software engineer's doughy body. I only work 100% remote jobs. No crypto/blockchain/DeFi/web3, please. ## Work Experience ### Senior Software Engineer @ CoMetrics Jan 2024 – Present ### Engineering Team Lead, Dropshipping @ CommentSold Jan 2021 – Jan 2024 | United States I lead CommentSold's dropshipping engineering team. This is a diverse, fully remote team, currently comprising four US-based engineers and two India-based engineers. I work closely with project managers and senior leadership to plan features and build roadmaps, I work with the engineering teams of dropshipping partners scattered across the globe, and I manage the entire engineering lifecycle of this part of our major e-commerce platform, from architecture to deployment. My team is responsible for our first serious move away from a monolithic code base in favor of an increasingly microservice-based architecture, we manage remote inventory from dozens of suppliers that's being sold by hundreds of CommentSold merchants (and sometimes merchants outside of CommentSold), and we provide a robust API that allows new suppliers to easily add their products to our ever-growing catalog. In addition to managing the team and the big picture, I do some full-stack engineering work (Laravel/PHP, Vue3, and TypeScript). The most important thing for me when it comes to managing people is compassion: I will never let my team members prioritize work over their own physical or mental well-being, and if I catch someone putting in extra hours, I gently admonish them and ask them to stop. I strive to help everyone set career paths and actively work towards reaching milestones along them. I also do my best to make sure that everyone can work on the things that they, personally, find most appealing or interesting (e.g., I put my engineer with a serious interest in DevOps in charge of coordinating with our DevOps team to figure out the best way to independently deploy our microservices). Over the past two years, I've become somewhat of a walking encyclopedia on our platform's dropshipping architecture, business logic, and partner relationships, and I use that knowledge daily to do everything from helping engineers with code to helping meet partner needs. ### Senior Application Developer @ University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine Jan 2020 – Jan 2021 | Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States Sole architect and developer of Penn Medicine's Brain Behavior Lab's new adaptive clinical and neurocognitive computerized test suites. Built primarily with Django and Vue, these new adaptive test suites represent a major departure from their old "standard" counterparts: they're entirely data-driven and use crowdsourced difficulty scores to administer as few stimuli as possible while still producing detailed, accurate results. ### Senior Software Engineer @ SingleOps Jan 2019 – Jan 2020 | Atlanta, Georgia, United States Senior developer on SingleOps, SaaS for the green industry (especially for companies that do a lot of tree care). Dev work was full-stack, using Ruby on Rails, MySQL, jQuery, and React. Focus on developing new features, improving accounting system integrations, and building a robust, versioned API for our new React front-end using Grape. ### Senior Software Developer @ The Integra Group, Inc. Jan 2014 – Jan 2019 | Chesterfield, Missouri, United States Developer on Boss LM, SaaS for the green industry (especially high-revenue landscaping/maintenance companies). Full Microsoft stack: Windows Server, C# ASP.NET (some VB.NET for legacy systems), T-SQL, and jQuery. Primary focuses included creation of bulk data management systems, various new accounting system integrations (including Sage 300, QuickBooks Online, and Microsoft Dynamics 365), and performance improvements for complex database operations. ## Education ### Bachelor of Science - BS in Computer Science Hood College Jan 2004 – Jan 2008 ### Bachelor of Arts - BA in Music Performance, General Hood College Jan 2004 – Jan 2008 ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/dave-conway-7448911b7 --- Source: https://flows.cv/daveconway JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/daveconway/resume.json Last updated: 2026-03-22
